FRANK
Location Calgary and Banff, Alberta, Canada
Year Founded 2009
When female design-trio Kelly Morrison,
Kate Allen, and Kristen Lien began
their practice, they set out to do more
than simply design beautiful interiors.
"Our goal was to create engaging, unique
spaces that are timeless, not trendy,"
says Morrison, detailing the important
guiding principle that helped form
the firm's identity. "By letting the
concept dictate the style, rather than
the style dictate the concept, each
project is uniquely grounded within
its locale."
Based in downtown Calgary and
Banff, Alberta, FRANK was established
in 2009 and has since completed over
100 projects across Canada. "With bold
leadership, we strive to avoid trends,
clichés, and spectacles, and instead
focus on creating spaces that are
honest to the design narrative while
meeting the practical needs of the
client," Allen says.
Today, FRANK has 16 registered
architects, interior designers, and
technical experts working alongside
the three partners-making it possible
for the studio to continue creating large
scale projects that enhance the urban
landscape, hospitality projects that
become landmarks in their cities, and
even some residential designs that
Marzano (this page) is a cozy
Italian eatery tucked into the
lush Selkirk Mountains, featuring mosaic tile patterns,
light wood tones, fresh green
hues, and a wood burning
pizza oven as the focal point
of the space. Vermillion
(opposite page), in the heart
of the Banff Springs Hotel
is a contemporary take on
the French brasserie, clad
in navy velvets, marble,
and rich wood tones, and
illuminated by bespoke chandeliers with brass detailing.
